Upon entering Ahof barn today, the spiral staircase immediately establishes a striking focal point. Crafted from pine plywood through a collaboration between the interior architect and EeStairs, its raw finish recalls the building’s former industrial use while reinforcing the inherent simplicity of the barn.

Villa A, Aerdenhout
The clients, a blended family with five children, wanted a home tailored to their family situation, where each family member has their own space. They also desired an age-friendly home, allowing the parents to live on one floor indefinitely, and avoiding a sense of an empty house when the children leave home.

House with a View, Gelderland
“The realization of our barn house was an inspiring reciprocity between the creativity of the architects Tomas Beranek and Arthur Nuss of Global Architects and my self-realized vision,” says owner and builder Bram van de Wal about his barn house in the new Culemborg district of Parijsch.

Dutch Houses – Residences in 2022

Residential Architecture Designs in Holland – latest additions, chronological:

15 Feb 2022
Polyphemos, Klevarie, Maastricht, province of Limburg
Design: Martens Willems & Humblé Architecten

photo : Philip Driessen
Polyphemos House, Klevarie Maastricht
Polyphemos is a private residence within the Klevarie site in Maastricht, set inside the historic city walls. The site has undergone several transformations, beginning as a monastery garden before becoming a hospital and nursing home, yet throughout its history the garden remained a secluded green space at the heart of the complex.

The urban plan sought to preserve and reinforce this hidden landscape, treating the garden as a defining element of the site rather than residual space. Polyphemos is conceived within this green setting, retaining the sense of enclosure and seclusion that has long characterised the site.

Villa JM, North Brabant
Design: Powerhouse Company

photograph : Sebastian van Damme
Villa JM
Set within an extensive wooded site in the south of the Netherlands, the house is carefully positioned to engage with its natural surroundings while maintaining privacy. Generous areas of glazing are discreetly integrated to frame views through the trees, while enclosed volumes provide a sense of retreat and seclusion.

Natural stone and timber lend depth and warmth to the elementary single-storey composition, where restrained linear forms and monumental volumes are balanced by softer curves and sinuous glazed walls. The resulting architecture combines a strong sense of permanence with a fluid relationship to the surrounding landscape.

Villa Vught
Architects: Mecanoo

Villa Vught in The Netherlands
This new property in the Dutch countryside near Vught gives a contemporary twist to the local farmstead typology. Traditionally, the Dutch ‘hoeve’ is an ensemble of farmhouses and living quarters loosely clustered around a courtyard. The central open space is protected, yet open to the surrounding landscape. This spatial arrangement guided the design of the Villa.

The house is situated on a corner lot in the typical 30’s district ‘de Elzent’ against the natural landscape of the river Dommel valley, in the center of Eindhoven, The Netherlands.

An extension where extra comfort is added to the existing house.

Landscape Villas
Due to the delicate location of the 2200 sqm yard in the entrance to the new neighborhood in Ruurlo and the historical monumental farm behind the location, the municipality has announced an architectural competition. This scheme is based on the ambiguity of the location; on one hand it is a sequence of large objects on the edge of the neighborhood and on the other hand it is a part of the neighborhood of one family house.

House N, Noordwijk
Design: Maxwan a+u
House N
Built in 1938, this Dutch seaside villa was originally the holiday home of a concrete factory owner.
